The family of Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian national who died of Ebola at a Texas hospital, has reached a confidential settlement with Texas Health Resources, according to the Duncan family attorney Les Weisbrod.
In September, Duncan traveled to Texas from Liberia and began experiencing Ebola symptoms which prompted him to go to the emergency room at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. He was misdiagnosed and sent home, both the Duncan family and Texas health authorities have said. Duncan was hospitalized days later, tested for Ebola and then began receiving care.

Unbelievable.
Will the $500,000 cost of Duncan’s treatment be deducted?
So, how much will they pay the hospital?
Hopefully the illegal aliens among them will be deported.
ditto
Whatever it is it’ll last much longer where they came from.
Time to counter-sue for his fraud of denying he had any contact with ebola victims. Leave it to our justice system to commend criminals and condemn their victims, i.e., the U.S. taxpayers who paid for his treatment and probably for his funeral as well.
Ain’t America great? This whole family needs deported.
bet the cost was closer to a million at least....
WTF? Thomas Duncan LIED to hospital staff on his initial visit.
Ain’t America great? This whole family needs deported.
So, we can assume the Duncan family will be paying the hospital bills out of their settlement?

The (dead) dude lied to the hospital. Why is the family getting ANYTHING?
A pox of Ebola on all of them!
Every Ebola infected African and others will risk anything to get here now, why should they not try, everything to gain nothing to lose.
As I understand it, Duncan lied to customs agents to enter the country. Then he told the truth about his contacts to the hospital on his first ER visit, and was misdiagnosed.
Bring your deadly diseases to America and help your friends get rich. Nice! Goober is right. Americans are stupid.
“The Texas Health Dallas Thomas Eric Duncan Memorial Fund...will be run by a Duncan family member...”
Another “gimmedat” slush fund.
I’m surprised Al Sharpton hasn’t tapped into this.
Unbelievable.
